HackerNest is a federally incorporated Canadian not-for-profit organization and global movement founded on January 11, 2011.〔 The organization unites local technology communities around the world through community events and socially beneficial hackathons to further its mission of economic development through technological proliferation. It is the largest, most prolific technology community in Canada with growing international popularity. ==History== HackerNest was founded on the belief that the best way to improve the world is to build supportive local technology communities characterized by honesty, trust, sharing, and respect - everywhere.〔 The rationale is that a city's technology community is the cornerstone of economic development that enables collaboration, innovation, mentorship, knowledge-sharing, recruiting, and scientific progress.〔 Growing and strengthening the community helps businesses hire better, make more money, and create more jobs, ultimately putting more food on the table. The organization's ideology is deeply rooted in chaos theory, the idea that minor differences at the start of a process in a dynamic system can have major, unexpected impacts on end results. Similar to how the seemingly-insignificant act of handing a child a pencil culminated in the artistic legacy of Pablo Picasso decades later, HackerNest reasons that making a new friend at a Tech Social could result in a partnership that one day cures cancer. With that in mind, HackerNest "splinter cells" (chapters) regularly host social gatherings open to anyone interested in technology called "Tech Socials". The events vary by city, but maintain the same core tenets: all are nonpartisan, unpretentious, anti-elitist, and pitch-free.〔 The first Tech Social was held in Toronto on Monday, January 31, 2011. HackerNest Toronto is currently the world's largest Meetup group for programmers and Canada's largest technology meetup (both in terms of group membership and number of attendees at events).〔 The flagship splinter cell also ran two notable hackathons in 2014: HackerNest Construct, Canada's largest hardware hackathon〔 and DementiaHack for the British government, the world's first hackathon dedicated to helping people with dementia and their caregivers. As of April 2015, HackerNest splinter cells have run over 170+ events in 22 cities across 13 countries on 4 continents.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HackerNest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
